Recent Notable Cases and Representations:2019: Obtained a $1,000,000.00 Judgment against an individual for the wrongful death of his mother, specifically for being the intentional cause of her death (his murder trial is still pending). Additionally, I applied the “Slayer Statute” in a Declaratory Judgment against said individual in a separate proceeding so that said individual could not receive any benefit as a result of his mother’s death from any source;2019: Successfully defeated a spouse's claim to a business with a yearly gross revenue in excess of $10 million (determined premarital), as well as successfully retaining the marital residence worth in excess of $1.50 million in a highly contested marital dissolution proceeding;2018: Successful application of the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (“HAGUE”), as well as the International Child Abduction Remedies Act (“ICARA”), to compel settlement with a mother who, without permission, retained a Minor Child in the United States and would not allow contact between said minor child and her father;2017: Successful retrieval in excess of $175,000.00 pursuant to a Citation to Recover Assets in a Probate proceeding where there was a dispute as to whether the Decedent intended her cousin to be named as a pay-on-death beneficiary of her account;2016: Successful representation as Court-appointed counsel for an elderly man whose family member sought guardianship of both his person and estate and who involuntarily committed him to a nursing home, where he was forced to take psychiatric medications against his will. After successfully petitioning for an Independent Medical Examination, the Petitioners withdrew their Petition for Guardianship, and my client was set free of his own accord;2016: Litigation Counsel of Record for Erin Merryn (nom de plume). Erin is a world-wide activist against child sex predators and a proponent of Erin’s Law, an initiative to promote education in public schools to prevent childhood sexual abuse, for which she regularly speaks before Congressional Committees both domestic and abroad. As of May 2016, Erin’s Law has been passed in 27 States, having first been signed into law in Illinois by then Governor Quinn. Most recently, she was the primary participant in a TLC special “Breaking the Silence” about this topic;2015: Successful representation of a pregnant woman detained and tried in Indonesia for the premeditated murder of her mother. I successfully obtained $150,000.00 from her mother's trust to ensure my client had criminal legal representation in Indonesia that could have resulted in death by firing squad. Additionally, I ensured that my client’s daughter was born in a hospital in Indonesia as opposed to the prison infirmary. Finally, I was designated by Order of the Court to be responsible for stipend funds to ensure my client had access to adequate food, toiletries, and medicinal care while pregnant and incarcerated;2015: Successful representation as Court-appointed counsel for a woman diagnosed with schizophrenia whose family member sought guardianship of both the person and the estate over my client. After preliminary hearings, the Petitioner withdrew his Petition for Guardianship, and, to my knowledge, my client is free to exercise her wishes both medically and financially to this day;2015: Successful defense of a removal action preventing Wife from leaving the State of Illinois with the parties’ two minor children. Complexities of the case included, but were not limited to, Wife filing no less than five (5) Orders of Protection against Husband within a two (2) year period for, inter alia, physical assaults and abuse.

It’s no coincidence that he has a five star rating! He is truly a god send! I retained a lawyer prior to Tony and the previous lawyer TOTALLY screwed me over and left me high and dry. I lost all of my faith in lawyers, but regardless, needed one to handle my case. I thank my lucky stars that Tony is the lawyer that I selected in the end. He picked up the pieces from the previous lawyer and became my champion! The whole process of working with Tony put me at complete ease with my case! If there was a solution for me with my case, I knew he would find it! He seems to know so effortlessly how to work creatively and find solutions. He is wicked smart! If being a great lawyer isn’t enough, he is an amazing human being that wants to do right by his clients. For the first time, I didn’t feel like a professional was just trying to take my money. If you need a lawyer, don’t think twice about selecting Tony Scifo. You will be so thankful that you did! And his paralegal, Angela... super warm, kind, and helpful! If ever I need a lawyer again in the future, Tony Scifo is stuck with me for life!
After going thru so many law firms offices and getting the same answer “I can’t do anything for you this case is too difficult” finally and thank God, I find the law office of Anthony R. Scifo. Right from the first contact that I had with his office to make an appointment whit him, the secretary (Angela) was very polite, professional and so kind. When I meet whit him for the first time we sit down, I explained to him my case, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a few seconds, he got up from the chair and he star to write on the board while his was talking to me about my options. I was totally in shock, because honestly when I walked to his office I was expecting the same answer that I was getting from other layers (sorry can’t do anything for you), he took my case and walked me thou step by step, we had the final court with an outstanding result. I highly recommend his law office; he is a young lawyer but looks like he has tons of years of experience. Absolutely A++ service.

Anthony Scifo was an excellent choice in hiring as a divorce lawyer for my case. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of any lawyer representation. He treats your situation with respect. He is honest and upfront. He made me feel comfortable in a bad situation.He encouraged me to believe that there was light at the end of a very dark tunnel. He succeeded. If you are reading this review you have found the BEST lawyer. Your search is over. Very highly recommended.
I remember when I first saw my appearance for my divorce case, I was so devastated and cried my eyes out. I couldn’t even afford to pay and didn’t know what to do. Finally God directed me to Tony while searching for list of Attorney my story and life changed. Tony explained to me what I will get and what I wouldn’t get from my case. He broke every information down on a board as if you are actually taking classes. Today I am happy because Tony and his team not only worked tirelessly on my case, but they were more of a support system to me considering the fact that I have no families here no one other than my daughter which of course they helped me get full custody of. Today I walked out of my divorce a debt free person, happy and satisfied at the turn out. Thank you so much Tony. I highly recommend you 100%
A knowledgeable and reasonable Law Firm that listens to your situational case. That provided defensive/offensive strategies to help quickly resolves my personal case. Never felt pressured and kept informative of my case. Grateful
Tony is a multilevel attorney. He worked on my post decree divorce issues involving an adult disabled child. Tony advocated for my son to get continued child support and continued maintenance for me since he needs total 1:1 support. Just to get continued "adult" child support (because of my son's disabilities) was challengingly and took a long time because of opposing counsels delay tactics. Trying to deplete my funds by delay after delay because ex was in a better financial position. Tony did an excellent job with the Zoom trial and had nothing but facts to back up my case. The judge was fair and impartial; who also understood the severity of my son’s disabilities after Tony presented my case. Tony is honest, smart and persistent to do right by his client. He has Angela at his office that will bend over backwards helping you. He also has another lawyer (Allison) at his firm who went to bat for my son and I in front of the judge too. No double billing like some firms just immersed together which was cool. Tony is a well rounded attorney who is not only good at family law like divorce, child support, adults with disabilities, maintenance, but also probate, elder law, simple/complex law offenses, litigations AND he is a mediator!! If you are looking for an A++ attorney who is kind and empathic but will advocate tirelessly, then Tony Scifo is your man- no matter what the opposing counsel throws at him. Tony won’t back down and give up and will encourage you everything will be okay. He will advocate for your rights and/or your child’s rights. My case for my adult-disabled son and I is finally completed and was not easy task for any of us. Tony, Angela and Allison are the best and bend over backwards to make sure the judgment will be fair, even if you are the underdog and the opposing counsel seems like they can eat you alive. Tony took all of that on and I will be singing his praises to anyone who will listen. Tony Scifo is one top-notch attorney.
Anthony has been very thorough with our representation. From the initial consultation to development and execution of a winning strategy - you can trust his legal approach and reasoning. Highly recommended... SRD
I was in a time crunch with a parenting agreement issue and Tony was so wonderful and responsive. I truly felt supported & empathized with in my sense of urgency and plethora of emotions. He was professional, had great follow-up, and easy to work with. I highly recommend him.
I remember my first consultation with Tony. There was an unexpected snow shower, really snowing hard, and I got lost. I phoned Tony. I was panicked and embarrassed. Tony stayed on the phone with me and patiently instructed me to his office. That's when I knew, right from the start, that he would be amazing! And, he has been! He's been there every time I've needed him and I've never had an attorney like him! (and I've had several). He's gone above and beyond the call of duty in every way. He always called me back promptly. He always answered my many questions with an honest interest in my well being. My divorce dragged on for 18 months and Tony was there through it all, guiding me and helping me with a truly sincere concern for me! He fought for me, and he won for me. Because of his constant efforts on my behalf, I got the settlement I wanted! I would highly recommend Tony to anyone and everyone! Thank you, Tony, and God Bless You!
